Is it possible to set up Tomcat to do ajp over ssl? (Not https?) (Tomcat: 5.5.9 OS: Linux Java: 1.4.2) * Looking up andrewaclt user info... ajp doesn't understand the notion of "ssl" You can't tunnel ajp through ssl? ajp just has a flag to indicate whether the initial connection is http or https andrewaclt, no, and the question is, "why" andrewaclt, you could do something like 'stunnel' to do that... What if the server is across the internet between apache and tomcat? then you're doing something wrong because that isn't how you should do it ajp is intended to be used within a lan only answers: vpn, figure out how to leverage stunnel, etc. Well, what if it's an untrusted lan? in that case, I would remove apache from the picture altogether or proxy to tomcat via https instead of ajp * Looking up pfn user info... So my only options are stunnel or https for proxying with apache then? yes I mean, if you wanted to proxy secure requests from another apache, what would you use... https. I'm just trying to test the functionality of mod_proxy_ajp. anyway, like I said, ajp doesn't inherently support ssl
